Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 50/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Airshow¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: David Probert| T: B R Millman| OR: 68| D

4/1

Unreliable type. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 11/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, rallying. Something to find on form.

Form: 5070-33

Bezzas Lad²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 831-244

Gilt Edge^p¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 58| D

5/2

Back to winning ways when taking 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Still fairly treated, despite her 5 lb penalty, and looks sure to make another bold bid.

Form: 270-561

Swissal¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ciaran McKee| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 61| D

12/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Pastfact^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: L P Keniry| T: M S Saunders| OR: 55| CD

7/1

Three-time C&D winner. Took a step back in right direction when 3½ lengths third to Gilt Edge in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Dropped to handy mark and merits consideration.

Form: 326-893

(3)

Diamond Cottage¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 52| BF

10/1

Not seen to best effect when 3¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Gilt Edge in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 10 days ago. Races off same mark again and must enter calculations.

Form: 320-004

Forecasts

Gilt Edge (5/2), Bezzas Lad (7/2), Airshow (4/1), Pastfact (7/1), Diamond Cottage (10/1), Swissal (12/1), Grey Galleon (12/1), I'm Watching You (14/1)

GILT EDGE confirmed the promise of her previous run when scoring at Lingfield earlier this month and a 5 lb penalty may not prevent further success here. Diamond Cottage and Pastfact rate the principal dangers.
